OARBOY BOTTLE.

- suitable Stoppers and gaskets which lie between an overhanging portion ofthe stopper and the peripheral edge of the mouth of said carboy bottle. These'periphera'l edges, in use, become chipped and thus very often reduce the sealing eliciency of the gaskets. Because of the capacity of these carboy bottles the contents thereof represent considerable volumes of liquid which, when the carboys are in transit and subject to continued vibration or due to the fact that said carboys are awkward `to handle, and often are set down with a jar or shock, is set in motion and develops considerable energy. The latter often results in causing aviolent rebound of the liquid contents, which as a result are thrown againstV the gasket and oftentimes squirt out through the spaces between the latter and the chipped edges of the mouth of the carboy bottle in what is commonly known as `an acid or other splash. If the contents are acids or other corrosive liquids, these repeated splashes will finally destroy the gasket and in any case will bring about a leakiness of the carboy closure. As aresult such carboy bottles with the existing type of closures, have come to be regarded as an inefficient and even dangerous means for conveying acids and other liquids.

The object of the, present invention is the provision of a carboy bottle of novel construction and having a novel closure whereby the harmful effects of the development of the aforesaid energy in the liquid contents are neutralized and all of the disadvantages recited hereinbefore together with the elements of danger and the possibilit-y of acid or other splash are entirelyv Other more specific objects ofv eliminated.

the invention will appear from the description hereinafter.

ing neck 6 having the customary tapering head 7 and external shoulder Slocated at a distance from the mouth of the bottle; the peripheral edge 9 of the neck 6 is preferably rounded in the well known way as illustrated. The neck is formed with an outlet bore 10 which extends inwardly from the edge 9 and terminates atan annular sho-ul'- der 11 located interiorly of said 'neck at a considerable distance inwardly from its I mouth or'speciiically from said edge 9. The Y surfaceof the shoulder 11 projects inwardly from the surface ofthe bore 10 in a direction transverse to the major axis of the cari boy as shown inv F ig. 1. VFrom the shoulder.11 theinterior surface of the neck may diverge or flare directly from theinner peripheral edge of said `shoulder to form an inwardly diverging bore as indicated at 12 and merge intoi'thev inner` surface of the:A

body 5 along smooth lines free from any` sharp bends or other obstructive surface conformation. y v In practice an annular packing or gasket 13 preferably of asbestos wicking is locatedV in engagement with the shoulder 11 and is preferably of such inner diameter as ,toV

means of wiring 16 which extends beneath the external shoulder 8; the arrangement isV such that by the action of the wiring 16 the stopper 14 engages the packing or gasket 13 under pressure so as to eiiiciently seal the carboy bottle against leakage. ferred 'construction the stopper 14: is provided with means for simplifying the method of placing the gasket 13 in its proper place in order `to seal the carboy bottle, for eliminating the danger of said packing-shifting or falling into the container andl for avoiding splash. The means vin question,

also prevents the liquid from comino into contact with the seal and thereby avoids any possibility of acid splash even though the packing l'is not in place. In the illus:q
